Thrift Share

Before we had tissue, both men and women carried handkerchief/hankies. My mother always carried a hankie, and I can remember many times when that hankie was brought out, spit upon and then wiped something off my face. Yuck and yuck.

You would think I would have an aversion to handkerchiefs, but I love them. So when I saw these sassy little hankies I scooped them up.

Hi Paulette, when I was about 13 or so my friend Karen and myself were chosen to be handkerchief girls at our church autumn fete.It involved us collecting and selling as many pretty handkerchieves as we could for church funds.I rememember we got a large collection and it was great fun.When we were in junior school we used to get handkerchieves for christmas which featured road safety information!You rarely see them nowadays, I dont even posess such a thing!
